Nizaam Carr included in Bulls side for Ospreys
Updated | By Jacaranda FM
The Bulls are back in action this weekend when they take on Ospreys at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
New club captain Ruan Nortje will lead the team onto the field in round 8 of the United Rugby Championship.
Newly acquired Nizaam Carr will get his first run on since returning to his favoured home whilst Stravino Jacobs moves to left wing with David Kriel on the right.
Wandisile Simelane starts at full-back supported by the inside and outside centre pairing of Lionel Mapoe and Harold Voster.
Nortje said: “We are learning and getting to understand our competitors better the more we play against them and that gives us a lot of confidence as team in how much we believe in doing well in the competition. We expect that Ospreys will come prepared and looking to get one over us but we have prepared well and we now have the opportunity to finish off the job.”
